    Behind a quite poor village and I got asked to be paid for sex. Shared spaces were very dirty.

    Nice little jungle, peaceful mostly. Good price and very worth of it. Nice atmosphere.

    Great place to stay if you are looking for something off the beaten track. I initially booked for one night but ended up staying a week because the vibe was so good. Lots of partying but also super chill. Couldn't recommend more highly

    Nothing

    A wonderful hippy haven, more similar to what you might find in SE Asia. The river is right at the hostel, with howler monkeys in the trees. It is a longish walk to a very secluded stretch of beach. And there's also a walk to an amazing waterfall.

    Vicky made us feel instantly very comfortable. The setting was fantastic, all handmade wooden structures by her very talented partner. The pirate ship is astounding! Lots of fantastic dogs for any animal lovers too :)

    The sanitary were far from the room (2min walk)

    This place is amazing, really good vibes. And the restaurant is a boat on the ground, a lot of style. Beautiful place to chill near the rivier (in dry season the water is really low).

    The kitchen is a Biohazard. I have never seen a more disgusting and unhygienic hostel fridge, anywhere. Totally unsuitable for cooking or eating.

    Nice chill cabana, good for relaxing

    community style hostel, not completely peaceful

    We arrived on a Sunday and the kitchen was a filthy mess. During the week it got cleaned once in the morning which didn't last long. The facilities are not a lot for so many people and in bad shape. The fridge is a joke: completely full and no shelves inside. The vibes with all the volunteers were strange. Nobody really said hi, it was like a Comuna with barely any guests. Most importantly: the river right next to the property got a huge dam so you got no nice views or direct access.

    The cabaña is located in the very corner of the complex which makes it pretty quiet and private. The bed is comfortable and the balcony with the hammock is a big plus. The shared bathroom was cleaned every day. The hosts are very nice and considered (they're preparing for a festival so there's lots of construction in the garden happening plus rave music playing which they turned off immediately after mentioning we'd like some peace) The location is safe and good for different purposes.

    We had an amazing stay at La Playita! Sergio, Tony and Angela were super friendly and helpful. They’ve build sick pirate ship at the property where you can relax and have a beer of two. You can also reach the village nearby within 10 min walking.

    theres lots of flies. and going to the village is a bit of a walk like 15 min.

    La playita is a really relaxed place by the river after the village of guacahaca. Made by this really nice couple of ravers that are building their rave paradise. The hostel very chill simple and basic but great vibe and you get free avocados aswell! It's very quiet and chilll most of the time but occasionaly theres a fun techno rave going on the big pirate ship outside the hostel.

    Too much of a hippie place for us.
    • Leisure trip

    It's really noisy during the night because the rooms are basically open and there is lots of dogs that bark during the night. Our room was directly above the common area which means whenever someone was smoking we had all the smell in our room. The fridge was pretty filthy, the kitchen was kind of clean but had really bad smells (my guess is the piping is done very rudimentarily and there is no siphon and the trash wasn't emptied regularly). There is a lot of mosquitos (more than anywhere else I've been in Colombia). The river doesn't look like on the pictures anymore and a lot of information here on booking is outdated and simply wrong.

    The bathrooms were well cleaned every day and the cleaning service did our laundry well for a reasonable price.
